293333 - leaks X memory

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 257016

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

[Benoît Dejean]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; fr; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050421 Firefox/1.0.3 (Debian package 1.0.3-2)
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux ppc; fr; rv:1.7.7) Gecko/20050421 Firefox/1.0.3 (Debian package 1.0.3-2)

after browsing some images galleries (1000x1000 pix), here what i got:

Number of entries: 	997
Maximum storage size: 	21504 KiB
Storage in use: 	85831 KiB
Inactive storage: 	0 KiB

It also seems that firefox is leaking X memory:
firefox RES 83MiB (quite OK)
X RES 262MiB (and if kill firefox, it will go back to < 50MiB)

before killing firefox, i continued using it to see if it was going to free all
this X memory : i closed every tab, and browsed 15minutes and nothing changed.

xrestop output:

Yes, I noticed that too in the past. It was quite annoying, and to reproduce
that you've to surf for quite a while. It is here at least from 1.0.
I've Firefox compiled from sources.
